Poppin' Pods

I'm a bad boy.

Easy Targets -- Sidenote: How good does Sinq Laison Look?

I've had the urge for a few weeks now to suicide gank someone's pod. I wasn't going to worry about scanning them down for high value implants or anything (actually, can you scan down a pod's implants? I'll have to check), but I just wanted to pop one. I had an embarrassingly high sec status from my days as a carebear, and I wanted to fix it. So I did.

So what was I to go with? Only one good choice for a Minmatar pilot (sorry to betray my Gallente roots): a Thrasher. I was trying to make the decision between Autocannons and Arties for a little while though. Obviously Arties have significantly higher alpha, but I thought I could get 2-4 shots off with the AC's. I opted for the AC's since pods have such miniscule tank to begin with. So here we go.

No problems in the execution. It was almost anti-climactic when he popped so quickly. I got two shots off before the sentries took me out hard. Its kind of a rush. I literally almost fit up an Arty Thrasher to go pop noobs. Is that wrong? I may still have to this weekend. Watch out noobs everywhere!

Other than that, my Eve life is returning to normal due to my real life settling down. Finals week is over, which means one month full of way too much Eve is ahead (if there is such a thing as too much Eve of course). TFirish3 should be hopping into the new corporation this weekend, so I'll be sure to update on that as it becomes finalized. Tommy Rollins will start becoming active in RvB as TF leaves, and he'll have Thermodynamics by mid-week, at which point he should be good to go. Looking forward to flying with Rollins. Its always fun to train up a new character and see how it goes.
